Located at Parque de Las Palapas, Dona Chonita is as authentic as you can get at local prices!!…read more Staying in the Hotel Zone, wherever you eat, it's definitely priced for tourists. There's no "local" pricing so if you want to eat where the locals eat, you have to venture into Downtown Cancun. If you're looking for street food/stands, Parque de Las Palapas is the place for you. There are a ton of food merchants and I felt a little overwhelmed because I didn't know which one to choose. We opted to try Dona Chonita because we saw a lot of locals order from here. Whatever you decide to order, expect it to be delicious! We got a torta, tacos and a tamale all for under $4! All DELICIOUS! It's a no-frills type of place and when they call out your order, there's a salsa bar and you can just add whatever you want. I loved my torta and how the bread was lightly toasted. The tacos were delicious and I loved the way the meat was prepared. If you told me that I would only have local food for my entire trip to Cancun, I would gladly accept. If you're in Cancun, do yourself a favor and check out Downtown. The food is so much more authentic out here and you'll love the atmosphere!

Wow, was it beautiful! Our waiter suggested the Cadillac margarita and blueberry mojito. That was the best mojito I have EVER had. We were more and more impressed with every bite.

We started with a lobster bisque and Caesar salad, that was made table side for us... he put real effort into that Caesar salad and man, you could tell! We always order to share so for the main course we went with the seafood fettuccine and the ribeye steak. So delicious. And we couldn't get over how affordable our meal was!

I kind of stumbled upon this place while walking around looking for trinkets and souvenirs to bring back home. They do have staff standing in front of the restaurant to usher you in but they are not pushy, which is very nice. They are bilingual here and the owner actually spent time chatting me up before he left. The jokes were nice and welcoming. The menu is extensive and I want to say everything is available on the menu at whatever time you choose to dine. I ordered a pina colada. You get fresh tortilla chips and salsa when you sit down. They were very tasty. I ended up ordering the shrimp soup and i didn't expect it to be anything special but what I received was piping hot, spicy soup chock full of shrimp and served with limes and fresh corn tortillas. The shrimp did have the peel on it but that wasn't off putting to me because they were cooked PERFECTLY!!! Such a great place and cheap too! The music they played was great as well. I shall be back!

The strip is filled with all the american cow manure comforts. Why fly all the way to mexico to feel like you're at home. Go downtown and eat like a local. This place is definitely the truth. Situated right in the welcoming front of Central Cancun, its as authentic Mexican as you can get anywhere in mexico. Order anything here and they'll truly amaze you with the vibrant flavors of real mexico. They have tables, a roof to protect you from the elements, chairs to sit on and beer to drink on. Life is great when you're really dining real local mexican. Two of us shared a medium cevice and the flank steak taco plate. Wash that down with two SOL with lime and salt... HELL YEA!! Mexico is awesome, specially the local stuff. We left the hotel cause were not paranoid of whatever these schizophrenic people say. We didn't get mugged, shot or kidnapped. You only live once, its too short to go through it scared. The glass is never half empty, Its always HALF FULL!!
